Verse 1

G                    C
I awoke this morning from a lovely dream
    D7                               G
And looked about this lonely room of mine
                             C
Somewhere in the distance to me it seemed
D7                                        G
Church bells were ringing this morning at nine

Verse 2

                          C
Bitter tears I’m shedding all because of you
    D7                                 G
I’m like a lonely prisoner serving his time
                        C
Thinking of the day the days when love was true
    D7                                 G
But you’ll wed another this morning at nine

Verse 3

                        C
My poor broken heart it started to cry
     D7                          G
As I realized you never could be mine
                            C
Just then I remembered what day it really was
     D7                              G
That you wed another this morning at nine

Verse 2

                          C
Bitter tears I’m shedding all because of you
    D7                                 G
I’m like a lonely prisoner serving his time
                        C
Thinking of the day the days when love was true
    D7                                 G
But you’ll wed another this morning at nine

Verse 2

                          C
Bitter tears I’m shedding all because of you
    D7                                 G
I’m like a lonely prisoner serving his time
                        C
Thinking of the day the days when love was true
    D7                                 G
But you’ll wed another this morning at nine
